Rough rider X5

Need help. I have a 2010 x5 4.8 , I love it but the suspension and steering is wearing on me due to a recently aggravated injury . I currently use Dunlop RFT grand trek winter tires on 18 inch rims which are somewhat better than the summer Bridgestone on 19 inch rims . What can I do short of trading this in on a Lexus , I like BMWs I drove loaner 3 and 5 series , and drove a 7 which was great. Even an x 3 was better but not smooth enough. I don't like the idea of non RFT but if it helps I will try them
Also I have the running boards which just make it harder to climb in and I am not tall but knock my head on the door opening
Before it didn't bother me but now it makes me miserable , does anyone have useful suggestions?
